Stella McCartney Resort 2012 Collection

Yesterday, Stella McCartney showed off her anticipated Resort 2012 collection in New York, and boy, was it a good one! One of Stella McCartney's design characteristics is her simplistic, and almost masculine, well-tailored pieces which are never difficult to spot in her collections. This time, it's especially the tailored jacket that stands out and grabs a lot of attention. These are pieces that are timeless, and that is why I am so big on Stella McCartney's designs - you can wear them with anything, as they are so chic and simple, and they never go out of fashion.

When asked about this collection, Stella McCartney said: "There's a lot of versatility; that's what's nice about a Resort collection. You don't have to be so controlled. You can give a lot of different people a lot of different things and not be afraid to do that."

What do you think of this Resort collection? And don't you just love the look in photo no. 3? I do!

Blake Lively for US Glamour July 2011 

For the July issue of US Glamour, Blake Lively is the chosen star for their cover. Inside the magazine one will find an editorial of her photographed by Terry Tsiolis, and I have to say that I find these images so stunning. Blake reminds me a lot of Brigitte Bardot with her big, blonde hair and the dark, sexy eye make-up. Also, the clothes are perfect for Blake - she wears the pieces from Stella McCartney, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Missoni with such confidence.

Also in the magazine, there is an interview with Blake, where her friend and the musician, Florence Welch (from Florence + The Machine) asks her the questions. It really is such a sweet and wonderful interview. These are some of my favourite parts:

About her role at Chanel: It's such an honor. When I found out I got the job, you and I went to dinner and concocted this plan, like two little girls at a tea party, saying "Oh, it would be the best if we had a party. And you'll perform, and we'll have it in Paris." Like you and I were in charge of Chanel!


About not having a stylist: I'd go to fashion shows and call my publicist and say, "Can I wear that?" I think I became my own stylist by not knowing any better. And once I was told it was time to get one, I thought: This is one of my favorite hobbies! And I'm going to pay someone to steal my hobby from me? That's a terrible idea!

About her self-confidence: Well, I have a strong sense of myself. That gives me a sense of security, you know? If I define myself by things that are always changing, like the public's opinion or what I'm wearing or what job I'm doing, there's no stability in that.

Helena Christensen in Stella McCartney S/S 2011

Stella McCartney's designs for the S/S 2011 season are as hot as a house on fire. Citrus graphic prints and the tailored suits are two essential keywords for the summer collection. In the May issue of Harper's Bazaar  Russia, Luis Sanchis has photographed Helena Christensen in these two powerful looks (look 20 and look 31) from the collection. Both of these outfits oozes summer with its bold colours and the bright whites. Helena Christensen looks like a goddess in these pieces - she is one of the ultimate Stella McCartney women.

If you need to freshen up your memory of Stella McCartney's S/S 2011 collection, watch this video by style.com with comments from Liv Tyler, Alexandra Shulman and the Stella McCartney herself. It is definitely worth a peak, as it will make you want to dance around in denim blues, citrus prints and light suits.

The Perfect Knitwear

As I live in a part of the world which gets quite cold, knitwear is essential for me. I get quite picky when it comes to my knitwear, though. It needs to be warm, without being too huge and bulky, and it needs to have a slight vintage feel to it. No one ever said I was an easy shopper! These two jumpers fit my criterions perfectly.

Hanneli Mustaparta wears a gorgeous brown and mustard yellow jumper by Stella McCartney. I love the 70s colour combination, and it is also the perfect kind of bulky. Hanneli has the best wardrobe. She has also taken this photo below of Geraldine Saglio in a lovely dark green jumper by Celine. I adore this jumper because of her whole look - the belt, the watch and the clutch - which makes it into such a desirable outfit. 

When talking about Hanneli, it is worth mentioning that she has been featured in Vogue.com's "5 days. 5 looks. 1 girl". Check it out HERE.

Natalie Portman in Givenchy

As mentioned in the last post, the 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards was held yesterday, and another lovely and incredible actress who attended was Natalie Portman. She wore a gorgeous yellow and beige piece from the Givenchy Haute Couture collection, which showed off her beautiful stomach. Together with it she wore Stella McCartney heels and jewelry by Cartier. I really hope, and think, that she will win the award as best actress at the Oscars tonight. She really deserves to have this moment.
